Deer Meadow Farms Corn Maze

Deer Meadow Farms Corn Maze & Hobby Farm

Deer Meadow Farms is Manitoba’s newest Corn Maze and Hobby Farm. Located on Vince and Liana Rattai’s property on Deacon road in the RM of Springfield, Deer Meadow Farms is just 5 minutes North of Winnipeg near Birds Hill Provincial Park. All five Rattai’s have all been working hard this year to get the Maze and Farm up and running. Brendan and Garret have been doing a lot of construction and Thalia has been looking after the animals, as well as doing some commercials.

The actual Corn Maze is just over 5 acres in size, which is both big enough and small enough at the same time. Completing the maze should take about an hour. This years corn maze is our best ever! The corn is taller, the design more intricate and the trails in the maze are longer, making things much more challenging. The Maze game also features a Hockey Trivia challenge. Find the hidden stations and answer the questions then find your way out. Simple. There is also a kids maze area near the front to make it easier on the parents of smaller children.The design is cut using a GPS system with the design loaded into a mobile device that is attached to the GPS and the mower or cutter being used.

The Hobby Farm features a Petting Zoo with animals you would find on most farms. A calf, sheep, goat, rabbits, chickens and ducklings are the main attractions for kids.

The Welcome Lodge is a Chalet style ticket booth that looks like it came from a mountain ranch or hide-a-way. The gorgeous high peaked roof, covered deck and log trusses on the front make this a particularly appealing place to purchase your tickets.

The Grain Barn is a concession stand that is done in a cute barn style, complete with a lean-to styled porch with covered deck, red paint, black roof and weathered boards and barn doors across the front.

The Country Market is a simple tent canopy with homegrown and organic vegetables for sale when in season. Deer Meadow Farms specializes in Sweet Corn, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Green Peppers and Squashes and other fresh items.

They come in three color variations that include a cream-white color, reddish-brown with spots (that don’t disappear with age) and brown. Our Wild Game Preserve was started with the idea of teaching people about the wild side of the natural environment and how it differs from the domestic side.

Visitors may walk through our preserve and observe our Fallow Deer and feed the ducks at the ponds.

There is parking for 20-25 cars in the parking lot, with an overflow area.

Deer Meadow Farms promises to become a great place for relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors in a country style way. From the log furniture to the log rail fences, Deer Meadow Farms is rustic and charming and family friendly.
